D-Generate to Prince. Truly BAD

Tired but Still Standing

*before the show*

Everyone is seen preparing for the show to begin while the wrestlers are worried about Michael. Last night, Michael went through two matches at Survivor Series, literally surviving two opponents, Daniel Bryan, and Roman Reigns for the United States Championship and World Heavyweight Championship.

The last match put everyone on edge as Michael was stumbling and look to pass out throughout the match, yet he managed to make it out to the planned finished. Despite the match was put to have Roman win, Joe and everyone else thought Michael should've won the match with his performance alone.

Soon, Michael had to be helped by Mercedes, Tamina, and Trinity as it was clear he was going to pass out, and he did just as he entered through the curtain. Luckily, he was okay, just very tired and worn down from going through a Five Star Match and a 4 Star Match with Daniel and Roman.

Soon, they see Paul and Stephanie's van arriving and they come out. They opened the back passenger door and Michael comes out. His hair was disheveled, he was wearing clothes he wore at the last minute and it looked ragged while wearing sunglasses.

Paul: Gently, Mike.

Michael nods as he steps on the floor and slowly walks, though was shown he was limping a bit. He grunts before mustering the pain of the soreness and approaches the others. He sees them and gives a tired yet cheerful smile.

Michael: Hey, guys. Good mornin-

Ashley (Charlotte) immediately ran to him and hugs him, nearly causing Michael fall. If that was enough, Mercedes, Rebecca, and a visiting Pamela (Bayley) ran and hugged him too. The sudden hug made Michael drop his glasses, revealing his tired eyes he partially closes them due to the brightness.

Michael: Jesus. I'm okay, girls.

Rebecca: You're kiddin? You passed out in front of us last night.

Mercedes: Everyone was worried.

Ashley: Don't scare us like that, okay?

Pamela: The last thing we need is seeing you collapsing.

Michael: *sighs* Sorry. I promise not to worry you guys again. Just lessen the hug, okay? I'm about to pass out again.

They quickly release him as they help him sit on a chair and Michael sighs. Soon, Joe approaches him.

Joe: It's weird seeing you like this, Mike. You don't usually appear this tired, but what can I say? You went through two matches in one night.

Michael: Yeah. I haven't felt this tired since my match with Lita.

Paul: You're getting older, son. Back then, you had a lot of energy because you were a kid. But now that you're becoming an adult, it's gonna slow you down.

Michael: Yeah. Guess I won't do two matches in one night again. Specifically two one on one. I could do one on one and tag team matches.

Stephanie: Sounds about right. Do you plan on appearing tonight?

Michael: I mean, yeah. I won't have a match, though. Just a segment and that's it.

Paul: Good. We were planning on that, anyway. Just get yourself some rest and do some exercises to remove the soften the soreness.

Michael nods as his parents leave to prepare the show.

Glenn: That was crazy out there, Mike. You really pulled out all the stops in those matches.

Michael: Thanks, Glenn. *gets a energy drink from Mercedes and drinks it* Honestly, I felt like I was back in 06 in that match with Lita. I was tired, in pain, but yet I still managed to go through it without any problems. Last night with Joe felt like that.
